2009年英语四级“机考”基本常识
新四级机考主要有三大不同:
首先是考试形式不同,传统的四级考试是完全的笔试,而新四级考试则是依靠网络和计算机来进行,对计算机和网络设备等技术上要求较高;
其次是考试时间不同,传统的四级考试时间为上午9点至11:20分,而新四级机考时间为上午9点至11点,比原来少了20分钟。据介绍,之所以时间缩短,是因为传统四级考试是分两段式进行的,当中有一个收卷、发卷的停顿过程,而新四级机考由于完全在计算机上考试,不要中途停顿;
第三是通过新四级机考的学生除了有四级考试证书以外,还有一张参加机考的证书。
1、增加跟读环节:
在题型方面,机考的试题大致分为八个部分。在听力部分后面增加了跟读的环节,需要考生对着计算机的麦克风重复之前听到的对话,以此考查考生的口语是否标准。所以在考试前,考生们需要调试计算机的麦克风音量。
2、听力比重加大:
和传统笔试重阅读有很大不同的是,机考更注重听力,听力比重占70%。作文部分也融入了听力要求,首先要看一段视频,看懂了视频以后在作文里简单描述视频内容,并阐发自己的观点。如果没有听懂视频,作文就根本无从下手。
3、经验分享:
大声跟读熟悉键盘输入。在跟读环节,考生最好大声跟读,这样计算机才能比较好地录入声音。机考的听力语速要快于笔试的听力,难度更大。而且除了通过电脑做选择题外,还要根据听力内容填写单词,由于计算机预留给考生答题的时间很短,所以要求考生能够用键盘熟练地输入英语单词。此外,所有的题目都已经预设了答题时间,如果在答题时间内没有答出,电脑将自动进入下一题,考生不能回头再答卷,这让习惯自己安排时间的考生有些不适应。也有老师提醒,机考除了阅读部分外,其他几个部分都是以第一部分的视频材料为基础的。要回答好后面几部分的问题,考生必须对第一部分的视频内容有清楚的了解。考生对视频材料听懂和了解得越多越深入,后面几部分的测试结果就越好。反之,考生难获得高分。
4、四六级机考框架图
一段来自某个电视节目或实际生活的视频(五分钟左右)
考生在观看1-2遍视频后回答关于视频理解的4-5个基本问题
听力填空:把视频中的会话按句重播,然后要求考生填出重播句中的关键词
会话测试:把视频中的会话按句重播,然后要求考生复述,评判使用语音识别技术
阅读测试:一篇或两篇短文
语法测试:以视频和阅读材料为基础,回答语法问题
翻译测试:以视频和阅读材料为基础,完成翻译
写作测试:以视频和阅读材料为基础,完成命题作文
CET4题型分为两大类,与听力相关的题型分值占70%,阅读理解占30%。
在第一部分听力的考试中,学生通过音频和视频完成考题。
全文:听第一遍------理解主旨大意-------听第二遍------获取重要细节信息;段落或句子:听写单词词组------填写选择语法结构------跟读句子------写总结或评论。
第二部分的阅读理解有两篇仔细阅读和一篇长篇的快速阅读。
听力材料:采用访谈、新闻、报道、讲座等,更真实,利用视频优势,提高听力测试的速度。
听力题材:包括教育、时事、科技、健康、体育、文化、社会、旅游等。
听力材料:来源国内为CCTV9,CRI;国外有BBC、VOA、The New York times、Discovery、CNN、National Geographic、NPR、CBS等。
听力语音:主要有美音和英音;语速为130-150wpm.

2009年12月19日:全国大学英语下半年四六级考试时间
第二个问题:必须过了四级再过六级,不能同时报
第三个问题:有些学校规定大一学生不能报四级,有些学校没这规定,具体要看你们学校怎么规定了
③ 英语六级作文
在下四级587分,六级622分,向你简单提点意见,原创:
你首先要记住这一点,六级考的是速度,一定要控制好速度,不要慢了,特别是阅读理解,千万不能在那儿停留太长的时间。
1.关于词汇,我不知道你掌握情况怎么样,假如我是你这种情况的话我会先把核心词汇先掌握住。怎么掌握?星火词汇书应该有吧?后面是不是一般都附有索引,我建议你现在先把后面的索引过一遍。怎么过?就是仅看后面的索引,然后回想,这时就会碰见完全熟的单词,半熟半生的单词以及完全陌生的单词。你应该明白了到底记什么了吧?就是后面那两类,限于时间的短促,咱们不可能从第一页翻到最后一页,现在只能记不会的单词。明白了吧?
还有如果你没有星火词汇的,我这儿有些核心词汇资料可以发给你,记住现在一定要把生词干掉!
2.关于听力,据我的经验,你只需把历年六级真题听烂即可,怎么一个烂法?就是你按着六级考试规定的时间,听一套听力,对一遍答案,记住千万别看原文。然后着重听错的,反复听,实在听不懂才去翻原文,一定记住这一点了,不然就没有效果了。
还有那个听写,我给你提点建议,只要听懂大意,听懂个别关键词即可,然后可以自己编。
还有就是能提前看题就提前看题。
还有一些基础的,我记得我是在六级考试前听了王长喜的词汇书后附带的一个光盘,它有这几个特点:⒈没有汉语朗读,完全是英语;2.较长的停顿时间。我感觉这样做有两个好处:1.记单词,我发现再听朗读中回想单词是记单词一个很好的过程,前提是你要反复听,直到实在听不懂了才去看书;2.练听力,根据我的经验,你不仅记住了每个单词的读音,如果有词组句子的话,效果会更好,跟上面一样那个你要反复听,直到实在听不懂了才去看书。
3.关于阅读理解,我只有一点意见,一定要控制好速度,不要慢了,但也得保证质量。
4.关于完形填空,跟高考难易程度相当,只要有时间做都能拿分,关键到时老没时间。
5.关于作文,我简单提点建议,首先在网上搜点模块,俯拾皆是,找不到了问我要,然后考前这段时间,最好能练几篇,通过练把这些模块内化成自己的。怎么练?就是你可以找一些真题,最好带些范文。自己写一句,就想想模块中有自己可以用的句子没,或者就直接看着那些模块,看哪些句子可以用的上,自己就写好好再与范文对照一下,看看差距在哪儿,最好也能把范文中的句子据为己有。知道我什么意思吧?不过这只适合考前较长的时间练习,临近考试的时候可别这样练呀!
希望对你有帮助,也祝你顺利通过。
④ 求2007年6月大学英语六级听力原文
Section A Short Conversations 11. W: Jim, you are on the net again? When are you going to get off? It’s the time for the talk show. M: Just a minute, dear. I’m looking at a new jewelry site. I want to make sure I get the right gift for Mum’s birthday. Q: What is the man doing right now? 12. W: I’ve never seen you have such confidence before an exam. M: It’s more than confidence. Right now I feel that if I get less than an A, it’ll be the fault of the exam itself. Q: What does the man mean? 13. W: Just look at this newspaper, nothing but murder, death and war! Do you still believe people are basically good? M: Of course I do. But newspapers hardly ever report stories about peace and generosity. They are not news. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 14. M: Tom must be joking when he said he plans to sell his shop and go to medical school. W: You are quite right. He is just kidding. He’s also told me time and time again he wished he’d studied for some profession instead of going into business. Q: What will Tom probably do according to the conversation? 15. W: I hear your boss has a real good impression of you and he is thinking about giving you two more days off each month. M: I hope not. I’d rather get more work hours so I can get enough bucks to help out my two kids at college. Q: What does the man truly want? 16. M: I heard you took a trip to Mexico last month. How did you like it? W: Oh, I got sick and tired of hotels and hotel food. So now I understand the saying, “East, west, home’s best”. Q: What does the woman mean? 17. W: I’m worried about Anna. She is really been depressed lately. All she does is staying in her room all day. M: That sounds serious. She’d better see a psychiatrist at the consoling center. Q: What does the man suggest Anna do? 18. M: I could hardly recognize Sam after he got that new job. He’s always in a suit and a tie now. W: Yeah, he was never like e that at college. Back then he went around in an old T-shirt and jeans. Q: What do the speakers say about Sam? Long conversation 1 M: Hi, Ann, welcome back. How’s your trip to the states? W: Very busy. I had a lot of meetings. So, of course, I didn’t have much time to see New York. M: What a pity. Actually I have a trip there myself next week. W: Do you? Then take my advice. Do the well-being in the air program. It really works. M: Oh, I read about that in a magazine. You say it works? W: Yes. I did the program on the flight to the States. And when I arrived in New York, I didn’t have any problem. No jet leg at all. On the way back I didn’t do it, and I felt terrible. M: You are joking. W: Not at all. It really made a lot of difference. M: Hmm…So, what did you do? W: Well, I didn’t drink any alcohol or coffee and I didn’t eat any meat or rich food. I drink a lot of water and fruit juice and I eat the meals on the well-being menu. They are lighter. They have fish, vegetables and noodles, for example. And I did some of the exercises in the program. M: Exercises? On a plane? W: Yes. I didn’t do many, of course. There isn’t much space on the plane. M: How many passengers did the exercises? W: Not many. M: And how much champagne did they drink? W: A lot. It was more popular than mineral water. M: So, basically it’s a choice. Mineral water and exercises or champagne and jet lag. W: That’s right. It’s a difficult choice. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. Why did the woman go to New York? 20. What does the woman say about the well-being in the air program? 21. What did the woman do to follow the well-being menu? 22. What did the woman say about other passengers? Long conversation 2 W: Morning. Can I help you? M: Well, I’m not really sure. I’m just looking. W: I see. Well, there’s plenty to look at again this year. I’m sure you’d have to walk miles to see each stand. M: That’s true. W: Would you like a coffee? Come and sit down for a minute. No obligation. M: Well, that’s very kind of you. But… W: No, please, is this the first year you‘ve been to the fair, Mr. …? M: Yes. Johnson. James Johnson. W: My name’s Susan Carter. Are you looking for anything in particular or are you just interested in computers in general? M: Well, actually, I have some specific jobs in mind. I own a small company. We’ve grown quite dramatically over the past 12 months and we really need some technological help to enable us to keep on top of everything. W: What’s your line of business, Mr. Johnson? M: We are a training consultancy. W: I see. And what do you need to keep on top? M: The first thing is correspondence. We have a lot of standard letters and forms. So I suppose we need some kind of word processor. W: Right. Well, that’s no problem. But it may be possible for you to get a system that does a lot of other things in addition to word processing. What might suit you is the MR5000. That’s over there. It’s IBM compatible. M: What about the price? W: Well, the MR5000 costs 1,050 pounds. Software comes free with the hardware. M: Well, I’ll think about it. Thank you. W: Here’s my card. Please feel free to contact me. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23. Where did the conversation take place? 24. What are the speakers talking about? 25. What is the man’s line of business? Section B Short Passages Passage 1 The New Year always brings with it a cultural tradition of new possibilities. We see it as a chance for renewal. We begin to dream of new possible selves. We design our ideal self or an image that is quite different from what we are now. For some of us, we roll that dreamy film in our heads just because it is the beginning of the New Year, but we are serious about making changes. We just make some half hard resolution and it evaporates after a week or two. The experience makes us less successful and leads us to discount ability to change in the future. It’s not the changes impossible, but it won’t last unless our resolutions are supported with plans for implementation. We have to make our intensions manageable by detailing the specific steps that will carry us to our goal. Say your goal is to lose weight by dieting and cutting off sweets. But one night you just have to have a cookie and you know there is a bag of your favorites in the cupboard. You want one, you eat two, you check the bag and find out that you’ve just shot 132 calories. You say to yourself, “What the hell. ” and polish off the whole bag. Then you begin to draw all kinds of unpleasant conclusions about yourself. To protect your sense of yourself, you begin to discount the goal. You may think, “Well , dieting wasn’t that important to me and I wouldn’t make it anyhow.” So you’ll abandon the goal and return to your bad habits. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you’ve just heard: 26: What do people usually wish to do at the beginning of the New Year? 27: How can people turn their New Year’s resolutions into reality? 28: Why does the speaker mention the example of sweets and cookies? Passage 2 25 years ago, Ray Anderson, a single parent with a one-year-old son, witnessed a terrible accident, which took place when the driver of a truck ran a red light and collided it with the car of Sandra Drinkens. The impact of the collision killed Sandra instantly, but her three-month-old daughter was left trapped in the burning car. While others looked on in horror, Anderson jumped out of his vehicle and crawled into the car through the shattered rear window to try to free the infant. Seconds later, the car was enclosed in flames, but to everyone’s amazement, Anderson was able to pull the baby to safety. While the baby was all right, Anderson was seriously injured. Two days later, he died. But his heroic act was published widely in the media. His son was soon adopted by relatives. The most remarkable part of this story unfolded only last week. Karen and her boyfriend Michael were looking through some old boxes when they came across some old newspaper clippings. “This is me when I was a new born baby. I was rescued from a burning car but my mother died in the accident,’’ explained Karen. Although Michael knew Karen’s mother had died years earlier, he never fully understood the circumstances until he skimmed over the news paper article. To Karen’s surprise, Michael was absorbed in the details of the accident and he began to cry uncontrollably. Then he revealed that the man that pulled Karen from the flames was the father he never knew. The two embraced and shed many tears, recounting stories told to them about their parents. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you’ve just heard: 29: What happened 25 years ago? 30: What does the speaker say about Michael’s father? 31: Why did Michael cry uncontrollably when he skimmed over the newspaper article?
⑤ 急求英语作文一篇.(四六级水平)
英语作文 英语作文的基本要求:
首先,一个段落必须有一个中心即主题思想,该中心由主题句特别是其中的题旨来表达。整个段落必须紧扣这个主题(stick or hold to the topic),这就是段落的统一性(unity)。其次,一个段落必须有若干推展句,使主题思想得到充分展开,从而给读者一个完整的感觉,这就是完整性(completeness or adequateness)。再者,一个段落不是杂乱无章的,而是有机的组合,句子的排列顺序必须合乎逻辑,从一个句子到另一个句子的过渡必须流畅(smooth),这就是连贯性(coherence)。下面我们就对这三个标准分别加以说明。
1、统一性
一个段落内的各个句子必须从属于一个中心,任何游离于中心思想之外的句子都是不可取的。请看下例:
Joe and I decided to take the long trip we'd always wanted across the country. We were like young kids buying our camper and stocking it with all the necessities of life. Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie. We started out in early spring from Minneapolis and headed west across the northern part of the country. We both enjoyed those people we met at the trailer park. Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner. To our surprise, we found that we liked the warm southern regions very much, and so we decided to stay here in New Mexico.
本段的主题句是段首句,controlling idea(中心思想)是take the long trip across the country。文中出现两个irrelevant sentences,一个是Bella bakes the best rhubarb pie,这一段是讲的是Joe and I ,中间出现一个Bella是不合适的。还有,Joe received a watch at his retirement dinner这一句更是与主题句不相关。再看一个例子:
My name is Roseanna, and I like to keep physically fit. I used to weigh two hundred pounds, but I joined the YMCA for an exercise class and diet program. In one year I lost eighty pounds. I feel much better and never want to have that much weight on my five-feet frame again. I bought two new suitcases last week. Everyday I practice jogging three miles, swimming fifteen laps, lifting twenty-pound weights and playing tennis for one hour. My mother was a premature baby.
本段的controlling idea 是like to deep physically fit,但段中有两个irrelevant sentences,一个是I bought two new suitcases last week,另一个是My mother was a premature baby。
从上面两个例子可以看出,native speakers同样会造出来irrelevant sentences。卷面上如果这种句子多了,造成偏题或离题,那问题就更严重了。
2、完整性
正象我们前面说得那样,一个段落的主题思想靠推展句来实现,如果只有主题句而没有推展句来进一步交待和充实,就不能构成一个完整的段落。同样,虽然有推展句,但主题思想没有得到相对圆满的交待,给读者一种意犹未尽的感觉。这样的段落也不能完成其交际功能。例如:
Physical work can be a useful form of therapy for a mind in turmoil. Work concentrates your thoughts on a concrete task. Besides, it is more useful to work —— you proce something rather than more anxiety or depression.
本段的主题句是段首句。本段的两个推展句均不能回答主题句中提出的问题。什么是“a mind in turmoil”(心境不平静)Physical work又如何能改变这种情况?为什么它能起therapy的作用?读者得不到明确的答案。因此,要达到完整就必须尽可能地简明。例如:
It is not always true that a good picture is worth a thousand words. Often writing is much clearer than a picture. It is sometimes difficult to figure out what a picture means, but a careful writer can almost always explain it.
段首句所表达的主题思想是一种看法,必须有具体事例加以验证。上述两个推展句只是在文字上对主题作些解释,整个段落内容空洞,简而不明。如果用一两个具体的例子的话,就可以把主题解释清楚了。比如下段:
It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes, pictures are pretty useless things. If you can't swim and fall in the river and start gulping water, will you be better off to hold up a picture of yourself drowning, or start screaming "Help"?
3、连贯性(coherence)
连贯性包括意连和形连两个方面,前者指的是内在的逻辑性,后者指的是使用转换词语。当然这两者常常是不可分割的。只有形连而没有意连,句子之间就没有内在的有机的联系;反之,只有意连而没有形连,有时行文就不够流畅。
1)、意连
段落中句子的排列应遵循一定的次序,不能想到什么就写什么。如果在下笔之前没有构思,边写边想,写写停停,那就写不出一气呵成的好文章来。下面介绍几种常见的排列方式。
A.按时间先后排列(chronological arrangement)
We had a number of close calls that day. When we rose, it was obviously late and we had to hurry so as not to miss breakfast; we knew the dining room staff was strict about closing at nine o'clock. Then, when we had been driving in the desert for nearly two hours —— it must have been close to noon —— the heat nearly hid us in; the radiator boiled over and we had to use most of our drinking water to cool it down. By the time we reached the mountain, it was our o'clock and we were exhausted. Here, judgement ran out of us and we started the tough climb to the summit, not realizing that darkness came suddenly in the desert. Sure enough, by six we were struggling and Andrew very nearly went down a steep cliff, dragging Mohammed and me along with him. By nine, when the wind howled across the flat ledge of the summit, we knew as we shivered together for warmth that it had not been our lucky day.
本段从“rose”(起床)写起,然后是吃早餐(“not to miss breakfast”, “closing at nine o'clock”),然后是“close to noon”,一直写到这一天结束(“By nine——”)。
B. 按位置远近排列(spatial arrangement)。例如:
From a distance, it looked like a skinny tube, but as we got closer, we could see it flesh out before our eyes. It was tubular, all right, but fatter than we could see from far away. Furthermore, we were also astonished to notice that the building was really in two parts: a pagoda sitting on top of a tubular one-story structure. Standing ten feet away, we could marvel at how much of the pagoda was made up of glass windows. Almost everything under the wonderful Chinese roof was made of glass, unlike the tube that it was sitting on, which only had four. Inside, the tube was gloomy, because of the lack of light. Then a steep, narrow staircase took us up inside the pagoda and the light changed dramatically. All those windows let in a flood of sunshine and we could see out for miles across the flat land.
本段的写法是由远及近,从远处(“from a distance”)写起,然后“get closer”,再到(“ten feet away”),最后是“inside the pagoda”……当然,按位置远近来写不等于都是由远及近。根据需要,也可以由近及远,由表及里等等。
C. 按逻辑关系排列(logical arrangement)
a. 按重要性顺序排列(arrangement in order of importance)
If you work as a soda jerker, you will, of course, not need much skill in expressing yourself to be effective. If you work on a machine, your ability to express yourself will be of little importance. But as soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken or the written word. And the further away your job is from manual work, the larger the organization of which you are an employee, the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts in writing or speaking. In the very large business organization, whether it is the government, the large corporation, or the Army, this ability to express oneself is perhaps the most important of all the skills a man can possess.
这一段谈的是表达能力,它的重要性与职业,身份有关,从“not need much skill”或“of little importance”到“more important”,最后是“most important”。
b.由一般到特殊排列(general-to-specific arrangement)
If a reader is lost, it is generally because the writer has not been careful enough to keep him on the path. This carelessness can take any number of forms. Perhaps a sentence is so excessively cluttered that the reader, hacking his way through the verbiage, simply doesn't know what it means. Perhaps a sentence has been so shoddily constructed that the reader could read it in any of several ways. Perhaps the writer has switched tenses, or has switched pronouns in mid-sentence, so the reader loses track of when the action took place or who is talking. Perhaps sentence B is not logical sequel to sentence A —— the writer, in whose head the connection is clear, has not bothered to provide the missing link. Perhaps the writer has used an important word incorrectly by not taking the trouble to look it up. He may think that "sanguine" and "sanguinary" mean the same thing, but the difference is a bloody big one. The reader can only infer what the writer is trying to imply.
这一段谈的是a writer's carelessness,先给出一个general statement作为主题句,然后通过5个 ”perhaps”加以例证。
c. 由特殊到一般排列(specific-to-general arrangement)
I do not understand why people confuse my Siamese cat, Prissy, with the one I had several years ago, Henry. The two cats are only alike in breed. Prissy, a quiet, feminine feline, loves me dearly but not possessively. She likes to keep her distance from people, exert her independence and is never so rude as to beg, lick, or sniff unceremoniously. Her usual posture is sitting upright, eyes closed, perfectly still. Prissy is a very proper cat. Henry, on the other hand, loved me dearly but possessively. He was my shadow from morning till night. He expected me to constantly entertain him. Henry never cared who saw him do anything, whether it was decorous or not, and he usually offended my friends in some way. The cat made himself quite comfortable, on the top of the television, across stranger's feet or laps, in beds, drawers, sacks, closets, or nooks. The difference between them is imperceptible to strangers.
本段的主题句是段首句,它仅提出一个问题:为什么两只猫会被搞混。然后对两者进行比较,末句才下结论。
2)、形连
行文的逻辑性常常要靠适当的转换词语及其他手段来实现。请读下面这一段文字并找出文中用以承上启下的词语:
Walter's goal in life was to become a successful surgeon. First, though, he had to get through high school, so he concentrated all his efforts on his studies —— in particular, biology, chemistry, and math. Because he worked constantly on these subjects, Walter became proficient in them; however, Walter forgot that he needed to master other subjects besides those he had chosen. As a result, ring his junior year of high school, Walter failed both English and Latin. Consequently, he had to repeat these subjects and he was almost unable to graate on schele. Finally, on June 6, Walter achieved the first step toward realizing his goal.
本文中起承上启下的词语有两种,一种是转换词语(transitional words or phrases),另一种是起转换作用的其他连接手段(linking devices)。前者依次有:first, though, so, in particular, and, because, however, besides, as a result, both…and, consequently, and, finally.后者依次是:he, he, his, his, he, these, them, he, those, his, he, these, his. 本段中共有词汇105个,所使用的转换词语及其他连接用语共26个词,约占该段总词汇量的四分之一。由此可见,掌握好transitions不仅对行文的流(smoothness)有益,而且对于学生在半个小时内写120个词也是不无好处的。
一个段落里如果没有transitions也就很难有coherence了.我们看下面一个例子:
Speaking and writing are different in many ways. Speech depends on sounds. Writing uses written symbols. Speech developed about 500 000 years ago. Written language is a recent development. It was invented only about six thousand years ago. Speech is usually informal. The word choice of writing is often relatively formal. Pronunciation and accent often tell where the speaker is from. Pronunciation and accent are ignored in writing. A standard diction and spelling system prevails in the written language of most countries. Speech relies on gesture, loudness, and rise and fall of the voice. Writing lacks gesture, loudness and the rise and fall of the voice. Careful speakers and writers are aware of the differences.
本段中除了第6句开头出现一个起过渡作用的”it”之外,没有使用其他的过渡词语.这样,文中出现许多重复的词语,全段读起来也显得生硬而不自然。如果加上必要的过渡词语来修饰的话,这一段就成了下面一个流畅连贯的段落:
Speaking and writing are different in many ways. Speech depends on sounds; writing, on the other hand, uses written symbols. Speech was developed about 500 000 years ago, but written language is a recent development, invented only about six thousand years ago. Speech is usually informal, while the word choice of writing, by contrast, is often relatively formal. Although pronunciation and accent often tell where the speaker is from, they are ignored in wiring because a standard diction and spelling system prevails in most countries. Speech relies on gesture, loudness, and the rise and fall of the voice, but writing lacks these features. Careful speakers and writers are aware of the differences.
4、有损连贯性的几种情况:
考生在写作中经常出现下面几种错误:
1、不必要的改变时态,比如:
In the movie, Robert Redford was a spy. He goes to his office where he found everybody dead. Other spies wanted to kill him, so he takes refuge with Julie Christie. At her house, he had waited for the heat to die down, but they come after him anyway.
2、不必要的改变单复数,比如:
Everybody looks for satisfaction in his life. They want to be happy. But if he seeks only pleasure in the short run, the person will soon run out of pleasure and life will catch up to him. They need to pursue the deeper pleasure of satisfaction in work and in relationships.
3、不必要的改变人称,比如:
Now more than ever, parents need to be in touch with their children's activities because modern life has the tendency to cause cleavages in the family. You need to arrange family like it so that family members will do things together and know one another. You need to give up isolated pleasures of your own and realize that parents have a set of obligations to sponsor togetherness and therefore sponsor knowledge.
因此写作中,一定要注意时态,人称以及数的变化是否正确,要注意保持一致。
英语作文的书写格式
英文书写应符合书写规范,英文字母要写清楚、写整齐、写美观,字母的大小和字母之间的距离要匀称。书写应做到字形秀丽漂亮,通篇匀称和谐。
写英文字母要掌握正确笔顺。如字母i,应该先写下面的部分,然后再打点。有的学生却按写汉字的习惯从上到下写,写快了,就会把点和下面的十笔连在量起,显得十分别扭。字形t应为两笔。不少人却将两笔合成一笔,看上去不像t,倒像l或是e,难以辨认。另外,把r写成v,把q写成把g,把k写成h等等,都是中学生书写中常见的毛病。
不少人在四线三格的练习纸上书写尚有规矩,能按字母的占格、高低和大小要求书写,但在白纸或横线纸上书写,却显得十分幼稚拙劣。字母或跳上跳下,或一律写成同一高度,占上中两格的字母与占中下两格的字母完全没有高低之别。这些现象都要防止。
另外,书写时还要注意词与词之间要保持一定的距离,不能紧靠在一起。字母之间的连写也应该按照习惯,不能随意乱来。
在一篇字数有限的作文里,我们还要注意尽量不把一个单词拆开移行。万一要移行,则必须以音节为单位进行,如revolution这个词,依照音节移行的原则可以按re-,revo-, revolu-这几种方法移行。在移行时,我们还应特别注意以下几点:
1. 单音节词不能移行,即使是字母较多的单音节词,如through等也不能例外。
2.缩略词如Mr.,Dr.等不能和后面的名字拆开移行。
缩略的专用名词如U.K.,U.S.A等也不能拆开移行。
3.时间、量度及货币单位应视为一个整体;不能分开移行。如;
11:00P.M.应写在一行内,不能将11:00和P.M.分开移行;写38℃时,不能将38和℃分开移行。
4.由“年、月、日”表示的日期,如果必须分开移行只能将“月、日”与“年”分开。如January 6,1980不能将January和6分开移行,但可以把January 6,和1980分成两行。
5.含双写辅音字母的单词,在移行时要将辅音字母拆开。如better可拆成better,necessary可拆成necessary。
但如果双写辅音字母属于词根,后面又加了后缀,就不能将两个辅音字母拆开。如drill加上-ing后构成了drilling,就不可以将它拆成成dril-ling,而只能拆为drilling。
例文:
1.宠物:
A Talkative Parrot
A lady worked in a company. There were a lot of shops on her way to work. One morning, when she was walking to work, she passed by a new pet shop. She was so excited when she saw a parrot sitting beside the door. She really loved birds.
When she stopped to look at the handsome bird, it said to her, "Hey, lady, you are really ugly.”
This made the lady very angry. She quickly left the shop and went to work. On her way home, she passed the same pet shop again. This time the parrot saw her again, it said immediately:
"Hey lady, you are really ugly!"
The lady tried to control herself. She walked to the shopkeeper and told him that if the parrot said it again, she would have the police come and take it away. "I'm so sorry, madam. I promise it won't happen again," the shopkeeper said.
The next morning, when the lady walked past the pet shop, she pretended that she didn’t see it. But the parrot saw her at once and said to her quickly, "Hey lady."
She stopped and looked at the bird coldly. "Yes?" she answered in an angry voice.
The bird, sitting up straight and smiling at her, said, "You know."
2.人物:
Elizabeth Bennet (伊丽莎白)
The second daughter in the Bennet family, and the most intelligent and quick-witted, Elizabeth is the protagonist of Pride and Prejudice and one of the most well-known female characters in English literature. Her admirable qualities are numerous—she is lovely, clever, and, in a novel defined by dialogue, she converses as brilliantly as anyone. Her honesty, virtue, and lively wit enable her to rise above the nonsense and bad behavior that pervade her class-bound and often spiteful society. Nevertheless, her sharp tongue and tendency to make hasty judgments often lead her astray; Pride and Prejudice is essentially the story of how she (and her true love, Darcy) overcome all obstacles—including their own personal failings—to find romantic happiness. Elizabeth must not only cope with a hopeless mother, a distant father, two badly behaved younger siblings, and several snobbish, antagonizing females, she must also overcome her own mistaken impressions of Darcy, which initially lead her to reject his proposals of marriage. Her charms are sufficient to keep him interested, fortunately, while she navigates familial and social turmoil. As she graally comes to recognize the nobility of Darcy’s character, she realizes the error of her initial prejudice against him.
Bennet家庭的第二个女儿和最聪明和机智,伊丽莎白是自豪感和偏见的主演和其中一个在英国文学的最知名的女性角色。 她令人敬佩的质量是numerous—she是可爱的,聪明,并且,在对话定义的小说,她一样精采地交谈象任何人。 她的诚实、美德和活泼的机智使她在胡话之上起来,并且弥漫她的坏行为类跳起和经常恶意的社会。 然而,她的伶俐的口舌和倾向经常做仓促评断带领她迷路; 自豪感和偏见本质上是故事她(和她真实的爱, Darcy)怎样克服他们自己的个人failings—to发现浪漫幸福的所有obstacles—including。 伊丽莎白必须不仅应付一个绝望的母亲,一个遥远的父亲,二非常表现的更加年轻的兄弟姐妹,并且几位势利,对抗的女性,她必须也克服Darcy她自己的错误印象,最初带领她拒绝他的求婚。 而她驾驶家族和社会动乱,她魅力是充足保持他感兴趣,幸运地。 当她逐渐来认可Darcy’s字符的贵族,她体会她对他的最初的偏见错误。
⑥ 新东方 大学英语六级美文晨读100篇 MP3资料
顺便提一下,我现在学的ABC天卞英语的助教和我提到 若想征服英语应该是不费力地。一定要有一个适宜的研习情境和实习口语对象,这取决于外教资质,标准口音(建议找欧美外教)很重要 持续逐日口语学习,1v1家教式教学才能够有很.好.的进步效率;学习后同样要回放复习课堂音频 更可以加深印象 不过实在没有人可以指导的环境 最好能上 VOA或BBC取得课外教材学习 多说多练迅速的口语就培养起来,整体效果肯定会最佳的;星火》和《王长喜》或者封面那是大青蛙的那个这几个系列的四六级的辅导书吧~~首先,你要买本四级英语单词,不是一味的要你背,放在床头就好,不必每天使劲背,每天晚上睡觉之前,刚躺到床上一定睡不着,看几个单词正好困了~~推荐,你买新东方的词根记忆那本,很容易记其次,培养听力和语感,买本星火的四级晨读英语美文,存到MP里,每天从寝室到教室这段路程应该可以听篇美文,开始可能你大部分会听不懂,没关系坚持听下去,等听-编后对照书看,然后在听,你会发现%都听懂了~~预感听力OK 了还有必须做题,开始的时候研究真题,星火 王长喜的都可以,十年的真题,都要研究透,楼上的同学说的很对,不认识的单词,挑出来,记在本子上~~背下来~真题看过后,买本模拟题,按照正规考试时间做,看看正确率,通常王长喜的比真题略难,星火的比真题略简单,你自己选择,买模拟题,一般都赠送高频词汇 (这个必须要看,因为这都是精华单词呀,不背你就傻了)押题的作文,这个也得看,不是要背,而是明白给你一个话题,你该怎么去写,开头结尾,一定要注意~应试锦囊,这个是告诉你答题的方法,简单看看既可语法,看看高中的重要语法,足够了~语法题相对教少的~改错 完形 翻译没有时间不必专项练习,做好真题及模拟题,应该够用了~其实都有规律的,做完10套题你自己就能总结规律了 ~作文要被一些好的开头结尾,和连词部分,一般都没有问题的~~另外从网上搜了一个辅导老师讲的复习方法,你参考看下吧~对大多数考生来说,从头复习语法、背诵单词已是“远水解不了近渴”。不过掌握一些应试技巧还是有必要的,有些看似不起眼的小细节,往往会决定考试成败 [听力] 精听VS泛听 准备四级听力,要精听,不要泛听。这是第一个需要明确的问题:精听历年四级考题。虽然从宏观上来看,任何听力资料都是有益的,但是鉴于有限的可利用时间,复习资料的选择一定要有针对性。因为要攻克四级考试,一个与提高能力同样重要(而且简单得多)的任务是迅速地熟悉考题。但短期之内很难提高听力水平是个不争的事实,我们没有必要挑战人类大脑的生理极限。幸运的是我们的大脑在它的生理极限。内可以实现“熟能生巧”。这个变量在相同的时间内可以更大地影响结果,最直接地体现在考试分数上。虽然真题的磁带只有六,七盘,而且是考试的原速带,即每个考题之间有十五秒的间隔。这样算起来,真正的有声资源只相当于四盘磁带。但是,这四盘磁带对于我们把握四级考试的脉捕已经足够了 [词汇] 注重积累 大学英语四级考试的词汇与结构重在对英语基础知识的考察,每次0道题,计1分。其难点在于:比例虽小,知识点却多而复杂,令大多数考生食之无味,弃之可惜。不过,掌握适当的复习方法肯定是行之有效的: 1. 精研历年真题。切勿简单的认为考过的题毫无介值可言,恰恰相反,因为四级考试是一项标准化的命题考试,某一种题型如果特别有针对性,或者其答案被多数考生选错,那就证明该题的效度和信度较高,重考的几率相对来说也就大一些。例如:0年1月题和年月的题;年1月的题和年1月的题;年1月的题和000年月的题等等 . 熟悉常考的语法难点和词汇题型。这一点将在下文详细论述 做题的关键是每一题必须能从原文中找到出处,也就是能够证明这道题正确答案的部分,千万不要凭印象 [阅读] 把握细节,养成习惯 1.首先精研历年真题 .重视阅读理解中的细节性问题、 .养成适合自己的阅读习惯 .作真题,提高考试阅读能力 [完形填空] 综合全文,着眼细节 1.对于首句应该给与足够的重视,因为往往它就是中心句或是引导句,它的时态往往决定了全文的时态,所以多花一点时间看首句是值得的 .然后以句子为单位一句一句地读,一句一句地填空,主要考虑语法、句意、逻辑和上下文联系。暂时填不出来的就空在那里 .最后通读一遍,完成没有填的空,再看看填的顺不顺,不顺的地方大胆修改 [英译汉] 掌握原则按部就 英译汉首先要掌握个原则:一、翻译时既要忠实于原文,又要符合汉语的习惯;二、翻译不可太拘泥,否则很容易因死守原文语言形式而损害了原文思想内容,好的译文应该是形式与内容的统一;三、能够直译尽量不意译;四、翻译的过程应该是先理解后表达 具体如下:首先,英文段落的首句一般为topicsentence,然后展开说明。展开的写法有多种,可分可总,可下定义,可同义重复,可以代词复指等。利用这一技巧,先通读全文,便能更好理解文章的意思,把握段与段之间的关系,在翻译时就能在上下文中确定词义,译。正确理解原文后,还要通过适当的翻译技巧用规范的汉语表达出来。这些技巧有: (1) 增词法。根据需要增加一些词语,如名词等 () 减词法。根据汉语习惯,删去一些词 () 肯否表达法。原文为肯定句,译成汉语是为增强修饰效果,可以译为否定句。反之亦然 () 变换法。名词译成动词或动词转译成名词等 () 分合法。一个长句可分成若干部分来译,或者把原文的几个简单句用一个句子表达出来 () 省略法:两种语言由于存在差异,表达时不可能总是对等,经常可以省略一些词和句子成分,如英语中的冠词汉语里没有,译时可以省略 最后一定要核对原文是否准确、通顺,还要注意关键词的采分点 [写作] 借助阅读善打草稿 写作文时要放松情绪,消除恐惧感,必要时可借助深呼吸来缓解紧张的心情 试卷一、二(作文在试卷)同时发下来,应在做完听力部分后,迅速地看一下作文题,让其在大脑中留有一席之地,这样便于在做词汇、阅读时随时发现写作可借用的词汇句型而不至于在写作时,大脑一片空白,无从下手 一定要认真审题,弄清文章及各段主题,实现由提纲到主题句的转换。可以打一下草稿:摆事实,理清思路,从易于表达,且论证丰富的观点入手,不局限于一种看法、 一种表达法或一种句式 具体写作时最好分段来写,各段之间空二至三行,以利于随时增减或删改。而且字迹要工整,卷面要保持清洁,给判卷人一个好印象。写完后仔细检查作文中用词、句法方面有无不准确的地方;句式有无变化;句与句之间,段与段之间有无合适的连接及过渡等. 最后,还要有一个良好的应试心态,从容面对! 单词是最重要的,六级对单词量要求很大。比较难记,而且时间也很紧张了,我觉得方法问题很重要,单纯的记单词确实很不好记忆,我建议你在做题过程中背,做模拟题,这个题不要做完了看看对错就算了,一定要每道题都分析一下,包括各种题型中的单词,不要怕自己做的题少,要把一套题做精了 慢慢你会发现,很多词是经常出现在阅读里面的。而且级常用的词也有个范围,这样可以多记住一些 还有记忆不是一次就能会的,做完一套题所记的单词要当天背两次,第二天背一次,隔几天再背一次,别太着急了!! 这样多做题,做精了,提高会很快的 祝你成功吧 学好外语的十条方法 1.学习不中断,哪怕每天挤出10分钟也可以,早晨则是大好时机 .学厌了可变换一下学习方式或形式 .不要脱离下下文孤立地死记硬背 .随时记下并背熟那些常用的句型 .尽可能“心译”接触的东西,如一闪而过的广告,偶尔听到的话语等 .要记住那些肯定是正确无误的东西 .抄录和记忆句型与惯用语时,要用单数第一人称 .外语好比碉堡,必须同时从四面八方围攻,如读、听广播、看外语电影、听外语讲座、攻读课本等 .要敢于说外语,不要怕出错误,要请别人纠正,不要难为情,更不要泄气 10.要坚信自己一定能够达到目的,坚信自己有坚强的毅力和学好外语的才能。祝你早日通过CET
